Question: Please tell me that the Alicia-Will elevator scene in the Good Wife finale foreshadows a reunion for them in Season 4. —Janet
Ausiello: I asked Josh Charles about that poignant/heartbreaking scene and he suggested that it hinted at a “deepening” of their relationship next season. “And by that I don’t necessarily mean romantic relationship,” he added, “but just a deepening of their relationship as friends and allies. They had to go through a process, and they may ultimately come out of it closer together and not further apart, and I think that’s what we’re starting to see them head towards as we go into Season 4, which I think is a very cool place. It leaves open a tremendous amount of possibilities, but it also makes them, in many ways, even more intimate.”

With Peter and Eli back on the Good Wife campaign trail next season, will Kalinda and Eli still be able to work together? — Trish
ADAM: If Archie Panjabi has her way, they will. "Because they are both strategists, it is definitely nice to see them play off each other," she says. "Those two are definitely [in] an interesting patch and I don't think they have been fully developed. I think that would be another friendship, a working relationship that would be interesting to develop. ... I know that Alan [Cumming] has expressed an interest in that and so have I."

[NICK] 35 to 45, handsome, dangerous and sexy. Kalinda's ex-husband, whom she ran away from. A master manipulator, full of dark secrets Kalinda would prefer to keep hidden, he shows up in her life again wanting her back, and trouble invariably follows. But he holds an attraction for Kalinda that she finds impossible to ignore. Please submit all ethnicities. New recurring role which works for anywhere between six and ten non-consecutive episodes. Role begins work in episode #401 (6/27 - 7/10.

[CLARKE] 35 to 50. Clever and calculating, with a streak of self-righteousness masked as financial common sense.

Question: Any Good Wife scoop on Kalinda and Cary? I’m really hoping this is the season they stop being polite and start hitting the sheets. —Troy
Ausiello: That’s probably not going to happen, at least not as long as her control freak husband is around. Speaking of which, rumor has it Kalinda will be a shell of her former self when her ex enters the picture this fall.

Аманда Пит - в роли сначала клиента, а затем и подруги Алиши в 4 сезоне http://www.cbs.com/shows/the_good_wife/photos/114287/season-four-news/119569
Peet will play a military lawyer who sues a contract worker for an attempted sexual assault. After trying to pursue the case pro se, she hires Alicia as her lawyer and the two become confidants and then friends.

Question: Can you tell me anything about my favorite character from The Good Wife, Cary? —Rachel P.
Ausiello: He has a line in the premiere that pretty much sums up his Season 4 predicament: “I’m always right on time for the fall of Saigon.” As exec producer Robert King explains, “Cary is someone who is trying to deal with a law firm that is now on the edge. No matter where he goes he seems to be in a place that is on the verge of falling apart. And what he realizes is he wants to not be the yuppy fighter he was before. He wants to have a calm spirit to him. The difficulty is we’re going to see some family of his coming into the picture, and that is going to complicate things for him.”

Question: I know she’s on The Mindy Project now, but any chance Anna Camp will return to The Good Wife? She went away too soon! —Gerald
Ausiello: Camp says she’d return “in a heartbeat,” adding that she too was “bummed” her arc ended so abruptly last season. “What happened was I got a movie I had to go shoot,” she explains. “I don’t know if [Caitlin leaving to be a stay-at-home mom-to-be] was their original direction, but I was like, ‘Oh my gosh! I thought I was going to flirt with Josh Charles?!’”

Question: What will the status of Kalinda and Alicia’s friendship be on The Good Wife this season? I’ve really missed that dynamic. —Rose
Ausiello: Don’t be surprised if Kalinda avoids Alicia like the plague at the start of the season. “The difficult thing is that Kalinda promised to be honest with Alicia no matter what,” reminds exec producer Robert King. “And she’s in this situation now with her husband that makes her have difficulty with that pledge, because so much of it she doesn’t want to be honest about.” Alicia, meanwhile, will start palling around with a new lawyer, played by Amanda Peet — although fellow EP Michelle King insists “fans need not be concerned” that she’s replacing Kalinda. Explains Robert: “We wanted to see someone that Alicia had a friendship with that was in the law like her and see how difficult it would be having a relationship with someone that you might compete against.”

Question: Hey, any info on the casting for Cary’s family on The Good Wife? —Lisa
Ausiello: Nothing concrete, but it sure sounds like the show is getting ready to introduce his father. Producers are seeking an actor aged 55 to 70 to play a booming-voiced Suit named Nestor who’s the “kind of guy who kicks his son out of the house at 18 to fend for himself.”

'The Good Wife': Archie Panjabi and the Kings talk the 'risky' business of Kalinda's husband
http://insidetv.ew.com/2012/08/30/good-wife-promo-kalinda-husband/

CBS has released a juicy promo for The Good Wife‘s Sept. 30 return in which we see Kalinda (Archie Panjabi and her estranged husband Nick (British actor Marc Warren get handsy — both in the bedroom and at the office (fight scene!. Watch it below. You definitely see why creators Robert and Michelle King have referenced Fifty Shades of Grey when talking about the relationship. Chatting recently with EW, Panjabi admitted she’s both excited and nervous to see how the audience reacts to it. “I think Marc and I as actors have made risky choices with risky material,” she says. “It’s interesting, it’s sexy, it’s edgy, it’s dangerous, it’s violent, it’s intimate. It’s so many different things rolled into one.”

Who should play Kalinda’s husband was the subject of much online debate during the offseason. The Kings wanted an established actor still unfamiliar to most American viewers. “That seemed much more interesting to us because you never know then what this guy will do,” Robert says. “The problem if you have a recognizable face is you kinda know the range of what that male star will do. What’s fun is the unpredictability factor. I think you’ll see with Marc Warren there’s a real sense of what Malcolm McDowell gave in his first roles in If…. and A Clockwork Orange.”

Panjabi and Warren never met before he was cast, but the Kings thought his vocal range would provide a sexy contrast. “Kalinda is usually so hair-pinned-up and exactly right, and Marc Warren, you got the sense, could be all over the map in this kind of Trainspotting way,” Robert says. Having now seen him in action with Panjabi, the Kings are confident they made the right call. “We love him,” Michelle says. “And once you see him, you can’t imagine Kalinda being married to anyone else. He’s that perfect.”

Panjabi seems to agree. “A lot of people are quite intimidated by Kalinda. The way he plays it, he’s not intimidated by Kalinda, he’s very much turned on by her danger. Anybody who’s gonna work opposite Kalinda would have to have that certain edge to them,” she says. “He’s just a very powerful actor, and I think there was an instant connection for the characters, but also for Marc and Archie. Both being Brits, both having a crazy sense of humor, helped us capture that chemistry.”

“It’s been a marriage a bit made in heaven… or hell,” Robert says with a laugh. “We don’t know what will be decided by the year.”

Ricci will play Therese, an outrageous comedienne who uses her beauty for comedic effect, TVLine has learned. The character is described as a “dry and matter-of-fact” woman who likes to shock people and joke around – even when she probably shouldn’t. As you may have guessed, the controversial funny lady will seek out Lockhart Gardner’s services.

Question: Can you give us some scoop about Alicia and Peter’s relationship on The Good Wife? The finale showed signs of a reconciliation between the two of them! —Emilie
Ausiello: I hear they start the season on very cordial terms, but I don’t know that I’d go so far as to call them reconciled. In other Good news, Alicia’s heretofore untapped power and influence at ailing Lockhart Gardner will come into play a big way in the first two episodes.

PREVIOUSLY ON... | Cary landed back at a now-bankrupt Lockhart & Gardner, Alicia inched closer to reuniting with Peter and Kalinda braced for the arrival of her Achilles' heel-slash-husband.

COMING UP NEXT | Will and Diane work to get the firm back on the right financial track under the watchful eye of a belt-tightening bank trustee played by Nathan Lane. "The difficulty is, in the real case of trustees, they do have the veto power over the managers of the firm," notes exec producer Robert King. "So Will and Diane are going to have to deal with someone who can actually overrule them and that creates a difficulty." Kalinda, meanwhile, reluctantly "reunites" with her toxic hubby (played by Brit actor Marc Warren and proceeds to head down a path of self-destruction, Cary's effort to transition from "yuppie fighter" to "calm spirit" is complicated by the arrival of his hard-to-please father, and Alicia strikes up a friendship with a fellow lawyer (played by Amanda Peet

As well-cast and audacious as this Sunday’s Good Wife is (Maura Tierney guest-stars and yes, it’s also that episode http://tvline.com/2012/09/25/blind-item-revealed-x-rated-scene/ , next week’s hour is perhaps the most all-around entertaining thus far.

You also get Alicia and Will needing to talk about the “thing” they once had, and a kinda-surprising kiss at the end of the episode. Do not miss.
